Thanks Gringo. I have another Marlin 444 with the 24 inch barrel. It's the Centennial model. All told, I have eight Marlin 444s and a Winchester Big Bore in that chambering. Needless to say, I like the 444. I have some 45-70s too.
The 444 is certainly capable of handling the bears. The 444 hits hard.
